[Baron Munchausen]

Media Player Classic

Then get lots of Codecs from http://www.free-codecs.com/

I prefer media jukebox from jriver myself. Got some really nice playlisting facilities.

What playlisting facilities do you need for movies beyond just a simple ordered list?

As well as mp3s I collect music videos in various video formats.

With MJ I can put these video files into my playlists alongside my mp3s, then playlist them according to genre, keyword etc. This is probably fairly standard now, but when I was first looking for these features 4-5 years ago there wasn't much software available that could do it.

And I stay as far away from M$ mediaplayer as I possibly can. I don't think I've ever even used it once on my machine.

VLC (Video Lan Client, see post #2) is probably your best choice.

Thanks guys. Every time I fire up Real Player my pest patrol thingy starts to beep and doesn't stop beeping until I shut that invasive sony wannabe program off. So any player that doesn't attept to "gather" information "from" my PC and "send" it to "unknown" parties would be much preferred.
